A forensic autopsy is performed pertaining to the law and includes any natural deaths that did not occur in a hospital, accidents, suicides and homicides. These autopsies are mainly performed by a pathologist or medical examiner that has a helper called an autopsy technician.

Although it's not quite combat photography, the image above completely
changed the political landscape of Vietnam in 1963. At the time, the
Vietnamese government, headed by Ngô Đình Diệm, had adopted a policy of
systemic persecution of Buddhists. Thích Quảng Đức was a Buddhist monk
who lit himself on fire, using gasoline and match, on a street corner in
Saigon in protest. His actions were caught on film by American
photographer Malcolm Browne (1931-2012). American journalist David
Halberstam wrote: "Flames were coming from a human being; his body was
slowly withering and shriveling up, his head blackening and charring. In
the air was the smell of burning human flesh; human beings burn
surprisingly quickly... As he burned he never moved a muscle, never
uttered a sound, his outward composure in sharp contrast to the wailing
people around him." Browne's photograph won not only the World Press
Photo of the Year award in 1963, but a Pulitzer Prize as well. More
importantly, after the photograph was distributed on the AP wire, many
countries exerted extreme pressure on the Vietnamese government to end
discrimination against Buddhists, and the Diem regime was overthrown in a
coup several months later. Diem himself was promptly assassinated.
Thích Quảng Đức is revered by Vietnamese Buddhists as a bodhisattva, or
one who has attained enlightenment.
